While some Hetchins aficionados (which I'm not) might balk, I think this is pretty cool that Hetchins would use the Pacenti lugs. It reminds me of the recent Masi with Sachs lugs. It's very exciting to think about some old brands with long histories using some current lugs. This isn't meant as a new is better thread. I use the new and old stuff. It all has it's place so please don't start that old tired and boring squabble. While lugged steel frames represent a very small niche in today's bike world, I just think there's some exciting things afoot.
